Open To Everyone In The World - The VitaLife Fitness July Olympic Torch Challenge Begins Tomorrow!

Did you know earlier this year the Olympic flame was carried 85,000 miles and took a 34-day journey around the world ahead of the 2008 Beijing Games. Why is the Olympic Flame relay done?

• The torch is a tradition carried over from ancient Greece when fire was revered as a gift from the god Prometheus. Greeks would hold relay races, passing a torch between athletes and light a cauldron during their games as a symbol of purity, reason and peace.

The Rules for our Olympic Torch Challenge are as follows:

1. The challenge starts 7-8-08 and ends 8-8-08
2. Everyone is invited to participate and everyone who exercises during the month is automatically entered into the challenge.
3. Each participant receives 1000 miles for every mile walked/run
4. The Nike Plus Sports Kit and Ipod Nano must be used to track mileage (there will not be manual data entry)
5. To qualify to win, each participant must create a blog that includes your name, where you live, your favorite Olympic Summer Sport and your most memorable Olympic moment.
6. Participants who walk/run 85,000 miles during the month will be winners of the challenge.

The Winners will receive a $15.00 iTunes Gift Card and will be announced on the August 11th, 2008 9pm Conference Call!

Each of us can do 85 miles which breaks down to under 3 miles every day during the challenge.
